poor college student's 55 gallon tank

Hello.

Tank is 2 years old, was FOWLR beforehand. Just recently got the Hydras. Don't make the same mistake as me and buy a 55, you have no depth to work with but it is what it is.

I'm not sure if I like the dark spots from the lights. Might raise them higher up, but they've grown on me.

Sump is 10 gallon eshopps sump. Skimmer is eshopps skimmer, the pks 75 or something like that. I don't have to dose anything yet, my reef crystals water changes maintain all my parameters nicely.

Hopefully these corals are gonna get nice and juicy. Only one I don't like is my green stylo, he's extremely picky and very ugly if the polyps are retracted. I am not an SPS guy lol.

Stocking:
1x PJ Cardinal
1x Ocellaris Clownfish

1x GSP
1x Goniopora
2x Mushrooms
1x Green stylo
2x Zoanthids
1x Torch Coral
1x Blasto

For some reason I can't attach these pics so I'll just put some imgur links. You have to click them b.c if I embed it stretches out the page.

Has that rock been in the tank for 2 years?

Ah no, forgot to mention that right before upgrading to reef I removed all the old rock and sand. Going BB now. That's why I have that purple rock there temporarily, to help the coralline spread.
